Excerpt from A Japanese Boy When just from school our faces and hands were as black as demons' with ink. On my reaching home my mother would take care of the copy books, and send me straight to the kitchen to wash before I sat down to the table. The vessel corres ponding to the basin is made of brass. We have not learned to use soap; old folks believe that it would turn our black hair red like that of the for eigners. There is no convenience of faucet or pump; each house has its own well in the back yard, even in the city - hence no water-works, no gas-works, and no fuss about plumbing; the housewife must proceed to the well for water, rain or shine, and struggle back to the kitchen with a pailful of it every time she needs it. The kitchen itself is not often floored; the range (of clay and of different appearance from that which is used here) and the sink stand directly on mother earth under a shed-like roof which has been darkened by smoke. The range has no chimney; not coal but wood is burned in it, and all the smoke escapes from the front opening or mouth and fills the entire kitchen, causing the dear black eyes of the amiable housewife to suffuse with tears.
